-This is a short article that is in need of being expanded.  Perhaps you can hit the 'edit' button and fill it out a bit...
+A '''stub''' is an extremely short article. It contains information, but this is nothing more than only a few sentences of text for a subject on which much more can be told.
+A stub can be marked by anybody by placing '''"<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>"''' at the end of an article. Once a stub has been properly expanded and becomes a larger article, any editor may remove its stub template.
+=== Locating stubs ===
+You can find stubs in the following places:
+* [[:Category:Stubs]] ''(articles marked as a stub appear in this category automatically)''
+* [[Special:Shortpages]] ''(automatically generated list of short pages)''
+* By setting "stub threshold" in [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]] to a maximum number of bytes for a page to be placed in class "stub" for markup purposes.
